Subtle power and perfect execution. The "retirement" shows are full of pure, clear playing.

Honolulu Civic Auditorium

Relaxed (Hawaii, natch) vibe without a Pig rap, but the band sounds just outta sight and Pig is on. Good times here.

Powerful vocals and a tight sound in front of what sounds like only 100 people.

You've never heard anything like this before. Out take from American Beauty era, mis-dated on Archive, but absolutely wonderful.

A+ goddamned good, keeps me bobbing and weaving. Hard throbbing, and into a killer TOO, too.

A real surprise and treat after the finger blistering Dancin'. Right now becomes my favorite ever.
Dancin' in the Streets

Swing Auditorium

In as close to a flawless show as this one, the Dancin' really stands out for its incredibly shredding good time vibe.

Woke up with Jack Straw in my mind, came here for this and BANG! Absolutely ripping version. Great stuff.

Faster than others from the era, but never rushed: Finds a really nice pocket and grooves there. High octane indeed.

Has it all. Nice to get into this whole show, not just the immortal PITB.
